Mr. Seward havinp; been introduced to the vast asBeinbly by the President of the Convention, Gun. Gbanokr, whs received with three times three, when he xpuke substantially as follows; Mi Friends Although willing anil desirous to speak lo you, I am obliged to confes that I labor under an impediment of speech, which sometimes embarrasses inc, though not often in Whig assemblies. I see men sitting here, and too men standing there. I cannot, I never could, speak when women wcro obliged to stand while listening to tuu. ("Hurrah! hurrah! Let the IhJics come forward. Hero arc scats for them all. They are all seated. Goon Governor!") I thank you, my friends. It was well and gallantly done. People of Onondaga! of the land of lofty hills, of picturesque lakes and of mineral fountains, you have invited and received me aa a guest as a stranger. Hut I renounce these generous hospitalities. Though we have never met, we have, for twenty years, been neighbors, belonging to the samo constituency. You were among my earliest patrons, and always among the truest and most faithful of my constituents when in public service. I am ono of you at home here, and distinguished only by the greatness of my obligations. ("Yes, yes. So you ore. A hearty welcome to you !") People of Onondaga ! you are convened in Council. In compliance with the summons I bear, and after the maimer of yonr predecessors, the real Native Americans, you have gathered yourselves, not in a walled castle, but in your own forest shades, to receive the message, and like them, you havo brought the women and children. According to the traditions of the Onondacas, the behests of those ancient Republicans were always expressed in the name of the "Chiefs, Head Men, Warriors and Women of the Tribe." This is especially right in the civilized state, where women are so educated and an elevated that their influenco is as salutary as it is always effective. Well, you understand the Summons I come in the name and by authority of the Whig Convention at Ualtimnre! The Whigs of the United Slates a vast and increasing host have chosen I1EMIY CLAY, of Kentucky, for their leader, and Theoiioiic FnEMmjHUvsE,"of New Jersey, for his lieutennnt They aro marching through tho land, from Penobscot 15a v to the Rocky Mountains, subverting all nongovernment, and restoring law, order and prosperity. They have arrived on tho borders of Onondaga. You hear their shouts, and sco the vanguard descending your eastern hills. 1 demand for them a free passage through this valley. ("They shall have it!") I demand the surrender of this country into their hands ! ("Take it take it, we surrender!") 1 demand still more than this, i re-quire you to join yourselves to their conquering hosts, and march on wilh them to tho consummation of their victory! ("We will! we will!") Well then Mr. t resident with your leave) it you are sincere in this, people of Onondaga, express your decision by three cheers for Henhy Clat! (3 cheers for Clay) and three more for FHEu.iuuuTSF.ri! (3 for rrulinghuyscn.) (A voico from the crowd, "IMow three cheers for Gov. Seward !") (3 cheers for Se ward.) 1 hank you, thank you, my mends. Now we are ready to march ! Let us set up our banners. Rut hold ! here aro tho Cayugns, the Oncidas, the Senecas, the Ontario and the Oswecos. Whatsay you, shall we organize the Six Nations, and set up our banner for Central New York ! ("Aye, aye, so bo it, 3 cheers for tho Six Nations !") Well! well! what inscription shall we have upon our banner? Ah! tlioro it is, embroidered a with lairy hand, on that pure while canvass. H Internal Improvement." What say you my Iriends j has tho Enlargement of tho Erie Canal been suspended long enough? (" Yes, yes, too long, loo long.") Well then, "Resumption or Internal Improvement" is tho word. ( Yen, yes, Resumption!") Uut hold, fellow-citizens, shall it be resumption of the Canal alone ? or shall it be resumption of all the useful works canals and railroads ? The restoration of the policy of Clinton equal and impartial blessing not merely the centre, but the borders of the Stato the dwellers on tho bank of tho St. Lawrence and in the valleys of the Susquehanna? ("The whole State. That's right Thai's lite Whig doc-Uino !") Well so let it be. What next ! fellow-citizens. It was the Whig policy to complete tho public works with the revenue derived from them alone, without taxation, and to divide the cost in just proportion, at least with the people of the Western States, who use our canals for shipping to market productions which they raise on the lands we opened to them, and which cost them only ten thillingt per acre, while ours cost us forty dollars per acre. Taxation for purposes of internal improvement is necessarily un equal, as it is unnecessary under a judicious ad' ministration. What sav you then ? Shall the ca nal policy be modified so as to relieve the citizens of this State from unnecessary snd unequal taxation, if wo can do so consistently with the public faith? (" Yes, yes. That's ritrht") Very well, we will wnto on our banners "INo cnnecessart or eh. equal Taxation for Roads or Canals !" Wbat more? fellow-citizen. In tho eastern cities they are proscribing and disfranchising citi tens, because they had the mistortune to be born in lands benighted and oppressed; and in ono of those cities the cradle of tho equality of man they ex pel, by the sword and bayonet, women, children and ministers of the gospel, from their homes, and light up Uieir way to the woods and fields by the fires of their dwellinirs, their bouses and their altars ! And all this proscription is because the unoffending citi' zens were born in Ireland, and worsmp uoa and desire to educate their children in the faith and ritual of their forefathers ! What do you say men and women ? Christian, Protestant men and women of Onondaga? Are not all men "born tree and equal V Is not this asylum for the exilo for freedom and for conscience sake ? ("Aye ! aye !") And shall not the exile enjoy the ballot, his just and only just weapon ot detence against our own injustice i (" Yes, yes ! That's right !") Shall he not be at lib erty lo educate his children according to the die tatea of his conscience as fully as we do? ("Yes, yes!") Well, then, we write on our glorious ban nef, Universal Sltfrage and Universal ldc cation." (Cheers "that's the talk !" Thank you. my friends. The exile shall bless you.) Rising generation shall thank you, and the world will hail our great army as the missionaries of Knowlcdgt and ot r reedoin. What else? oh! there, I catch the words from that banner that is half hidden in the leaves of the old ash tree over your heads. "Home Industry," (Cheers) " Protection to Home Industry." Protection implies that we depend upon somebody clso for protection. We will be our own protectors. We will say matnlWn Homo Industry. Fellow-citizens, you would have me discuss the Tar ill) But even this long summer day has been nearly spent in the gathering of the people. I havo adopted the ono hour rule for your sake, and that of my associates, your patriotic orators who are to follow me. There is no time for argument. Good houscwifo from Cicero, if your bread was ready for tho oven, and you had one, would yon bake at home, or send it to your neighbor's? and if you had no oven, would you change works with your fortunate neighbor who has one, or would you send to the dis taut market town? Now the principle of Homo Industry applies iust as well to the making of our own leather, and of our own boots, our own cloth, nnd of our own clothing, of our own Bait, of our own knives snd forks, and of our own shovels and tongs, and of our own spinning jennies and steam engines, as to the lowly example I have set forth. But the European baker cannot compete with the housewife, whilo the European mechanic, tanner, shoemaker, spinster, weaver, blacksmith, iron-founder and ironmonger can. Wo must, then, have duties which shall secure eo,ual advantages to our own mechanics. These marshes were onco filled with tho miasma of pestilence ; and the vicinity of the Salt Lake was as dreadful to the traveller as the sea of Sodom. Now, your salt springs are sources of hcttllh and wealth. What has made litis change! The TariffHome Industry. Well, but our opponents say that they are friendly to Homo Industry that' Silas Wriuiit saved it! Saved it from whom ? From their own hostility ! Saved it from themselves ? Rut they want it modified, so as to give "equal protection to all." Why, no firu-lection to any body! But they say they are now convinced that this tariff is right, and they will let it alone. It is a death-bed confession. Do not trust them. We trusted them onco, and justly reaped tho bitter fruits of our folly. Wo will trust them no more ! (Cheers.) Why, what a miscrablo appearnnco do our opponents mako here! claiming protection to the wool grower, not to the wool-spinners and weavers, when the wool-grower is receivmg forty cenU per pound double what ho received beforo tho tnntT law wus passed ! They inscribe their deceptive mottoes on muslin for which they are indebted to Whig hands and whig looms brought into employment by the Whig Tariff. (Cheers.) But our bnnner is broad enough, and wants for another motto. What shall it be ! "Distribution or the Proceeds of the Public Lands amono the States?" ("Aye! Aye! thot's the Clat policy !") So it is. And a beneficent policy it is too. Rut whatsay our opponents? why, it is robbing tho people, to bribe them with their own money ! Tho land revenues are taken irom the f ederal Treasury, they sny, and the people must be taxed to supply the amount so withdrawn. Well, but are they not brought into the State Treasury ? and are not the people to be taxed by the Stales, just as much as they receive from the Federal Treasury? Surely such exchange as this is not robbery. But the peo ple are not taxed to supply tho amount withdrawn. It is the foreign mechanic and artisan and capitalist who is taxed lor that amount. Again, what are the imposts that are so much to be dreaded ! Why, the duties by which we secure the protection and prosperity of our own Agriculture and Manufactures. Let us, then, havo the impost, and let us devote the public domain to Education, and the Improvement ot Roads and Rivers, This was the policy of Jefferson ; it is the poli cy of the Whigs. If our opponents are not satisfied with this, we will surrender it all to purchase and emancipate the Slaves of the South. ( Aye, aye, the whole of it.") Nobly and generously suid, fellow citizens. And such generosity would bo doubly blessed, for like the quality of mercy, it would bless them that received, and them mat gave. Once more, my friends, our opponents, sinco last they met us, have changed not only their leader, but their front Their watchwords then were " Van Bu-ren and no Texas," now their watchcry is " Polk and Texas Texas as soon as possible," which being interpreted by Andrew Jackson, means "Testis now if ever." By adopting this new policy, they havo forfeited forever, all pretension alike to the name and to tlio pnncxptcs ot Democracy. Uencclorln I'icir principle is Slavery ; their namo, tho Texas Partt! When the Constitution wns formed, there wcro thirteen-States. In seven of them the system of Free Labor was exclusively, or prevalently estab lished. That is tho system we daily see and practise. Your hands and mi no are tree. They are moved by the assuraiico of rewards of the enjoy ment ol all that they cam; and the desiro ol reward print's from the ncccssitv and dtitv of supply ing our own wants, and the wants of our wives and children, and providing for our children's education and competence. In six of tho Stales the system of Involuntary or Slave Laror was supremo. What is that system? The fields are tilled and labncs roncht by Slaves. They toil without reward, and and without even the pressure of necessity for their support The fear of the lash, not the love of wife and children, is the only stimulant; for their bondage was inherited and is transmitted to their descen dants forever. These six Slavo labor elates retused to enter tho Union without a concession of undue po litical power. That concession was thnt every 000 slavus should count as 300 freemen, and the master should vote for the slaves, so that, in effect, a member of Congress from tho free labor State has only one vote, while tho representative of a slave holding State has what is equivalent to one vote and thrce- fifthi of another. These master slave holders aro an Aristocracy. This principle of Slave Representation is the Corinthian pillar of the Constitution. Its baso is sunk deep, and serpents Ins among tne leaves that entwine its capitol. Now we once had an Aristocracy here in this Stato an Aristocracy of land holders but we abolished it twenty years ago. Now the freeholder and the laoorng man, the gen-tlcmcn and his servant aro all equal. It was right poind and wiaelv done, for wealth is no test of worth. and the lowly and indigent have an equal natural right to suffrage with the land holder, and more need for its protection. But if the Aristocracy of Land was thus improper what shall we say of the Aristocracy of SlattrTii Both are the aristocacv of wealth. But the wealth in the ono case consisted in acres a portion of that earth which God has assigned to us for acquisition. The other consists in the bones and sinews the life and blood the bodies and souls of men. women and children. Yet such is the aristoc racy of the Federal Constitution. It is now no matter how this Aristocracy camo to be established. Our opponents propose note to add Texas as s Slave Holdino Territory to the jurisdiction of the Fed eral Government; thus increasing by one, two, three or fivo, the number of the Slavo holding States, and , enlarging the foundation and dimensions of tho Aristocracy of the Constitution, and increasing its strength so that it may never be shaken or severed from the glorious edifice of American Freedom ! Said I not truly, then, that this is a forfeiture of all pretension to the name and principle! of Democracy ? Now Fellow Citizens, what will it cost to secure the peculiar Institutions of the South. Why, first, the assumption of the debt of Texas. It may be 1.1, it may he 'zi millions of dollars. More or less, this ought to be an objection with those who deny the Federal Government constitutional power to as sume the debts of the several DTATE8 WNICll are members of the confederacy. But I do not dwcl I on this objection. It Texas was worth buying, I should not hesitate merely about the cost ; and we see already that tho Texas party find a wonderful elasticity in the Constitution. Well they may They were the party of Repudiation ; and a debt of 25 millions would bo as easily paid oft' in this way as a debt of one. (Cheers.) It will cost a war with Mexico an unjust war a war to extend the Slave trade, and the Slave Piracy Piracy in the judgment of Christendom. In such a war, tho nations of Europe and of South America would combine against us, and the Almighty has no attribute which would induce him to bless our arms. You will not go to war for human slavery will you? ("No! nol") Come hither! you, the advocates of Texas ! See here 15,000 men enjoying the blessings of peace, freedom, knowledge, religion and virtue, you cannot have war without their consent! Think you they will forego all these blessings to perpetuate and extend the domain of slavery ? No! no! War is the game of kings of despot ; not of democracies. And above all, not of the democracy of the American States. What has slavery done for us already that wo should hazard peace, prosperity and honor to secure or extend its hateful sway ? It has once lost us our system of home industry our public credit cost us a long season of financial embarrassment the abandonment of internal improvementswaste of the national domain a sacrifice of the inviolato right of petition the forfeiture of all consistency of public character, and the disrespect of civilized men. This is enough and too much. What should wo gain by the acquisition of Texas? Land! Have we not a thousand millions of uncultivated acres already ? Security against tho invasion of the South ! Let tho South abolish slavery, and she may defy invasion as boldly as we who dwell almost within sight and hearing of British forts. Extension of market for our manufactures! toes not the slavery we already have, nullify the Union to prevent our manufacturing at all ? Citizens, ye who have rejoiced under the name, and claimed the principles ot democracy I am one of you. If I know my own heart or life, I love and cherish next to my religion, the equal and beneficent principle of democracy. I warn you not to be misled. Henceforth the Whigs aie by confession of the people of America by confession of mankind tho party of Freedom, of Progress and of Civilization.Friends of Emancipation! Advocates of tho Rights of Man! I am ono of you. I have always believed and trusted that the Whigs of America would come up to tho ground you have so nobly assumed. Not that I supposed, or believed, ther would all at once, or from the same impulses, reach that ground. But that I he progress of events would surely bring them there, and they would assume it cheerfully, i hat consummation has cotne. All that is dear to the Whigs of Ihe United States, in regard to policy, to principle and to administration, is now-involved with your own favorite cause in the present issue upon the admission of Texas to the Union. You have now this great generous and triumphant party on the very ground to which you have invited them, and tor not assuming winch prematurely, von have so often denounced them. But you will say that Hent Clat is a slave holder. So he is. I regret it ss deeply as you do. I wish it wcro other wise. But our conflict Is not with ono slave holder. or with many, but with slavery. Henry Clay is our representative. You are opposed to the admission of Texas, and you admit and assort tho duty of resisting it by Die right of suffrage. Will you resist it by voting for James G. Birney ? Your votes would be ltiRt as effectual if cast upon the waters of this placid lake. But yon say Henry Clay disavowes abolitionism. Let him do so. What care you and I for that ? He is opposed to Texas. Ho is tho candidato of the Whig Farty. TiiEr aro opposed to Texas. They. not he, are to prevent the annexation of Texas. Let us bring New iork to the ground she held in Ilia Virginia controversy. (Cheers.) Then she shall have anti-Texas Representatives in Congress ; and then let the ghost of the Texas treaty come back in wnat shape it may, wo will question it and silence it forever. If it come again by treaty, it will be rejec ted. If by law or joint resolution, it will be defeated. The securitythe duration the extension of slavery all depend on the annexation of Texas. How, then, can any friend of emancipation vote for tho Texas candidate, or withhold bis vote from the Whig candidate, without exhibiting the mere caprice of faction ! Democrats, Liberty men and Whigs, by whatever name you prefer to be called ! the issue presents iiscii aiiKO to an. Texas and slavery are at war with the interests, the principles, the sympathies of all. The integrity of the Union depends on the re sult To increase tho slaye holding power is to subvert the Constitution, to give a fearful preponder ance which may, and probably will be speedily followed by demands to which the democratic free la bor Mates cannot yield, and the demaDd of which will be made tho ground of secession, nullification and disunion. Mr. Seward sat down amid the long continocd cheers of the thousands who heard and responded to. his sentiment. NKW tJOODH.

Mr. Seward havinp; been introduced to the vast asBeinbly by the President of the Convention, Gun. Gbanokr, whs received with three times three, when he xpuke substantially as follows; Mi Friends Although willing anil desirous to speak lo you, I am obliged to confes that I labor under an impediment of speech, which sometimes embarrasses inc, though not often in Whig assemblies. I see men sitting here, and too men standing there. I cannot, I never could, speak when women wcro obliged to stand while listening to tuu. ("Hurrah! hurrah! Let the IhJics come forward. Hero arc scats for them all. They are all seated. Goon Governor!") I thank you, my friends. It was well and gallantly done. People of Onondaga! of the land of lofty hills, of picturesque lakes and of mineral fountains, you have invited and received me aa a guest as a stranger. Hut I renounce these generous hospitalities. Though we have never met, we have, for twenty years, been neighbors, belonging to the samo constituency. You were among my earliest patrons, and always among the truest and most faithful of my constituents when in public service. I am ono of you at home here, and distinguished only by the greatness of my obligations. ("Yes, yes. So you ore. A hearty welcome to you !") People of Onondaga ! you are convened in Council. In compliance with the summons I bear, and after the maimer of yonr predecessors, the real Native Americans, you have gathered yourselves, not in a walled castle, but in your own forest shades, to receive the message, and like them, you havo brought the women and children. According to the traditions of the Onondacas, the behests of those ancient Republicans were always expressed in the name of the "Chiefs, Head Men, Warriors and Women of the Tribe." This is especially right in the civilized state, where women are so educated and an elevated that their influenco is as salutary as it is always effective. Well, you understand the Summons I come in the name and by authority of the Whig Convention at Ualtimnre! The Whigs of the United Slates a vast and increasing host have chosen I1EMIY CLAY, of Kentucky, for their leader, and Theoiioiic FnEMmjHUvsE,"of New Jersey, for his lieutennnt They aro marching through tho land, from Penobscot 15a v to the Rocky Mountains, subverting all nongovernment, and restoring law, order and prosperity. They have arrived on tho borders of Onondaga. You hear their shouts, and sco the vanguard descending your eastern hills. 1 demand for them a free passage through this valley. ("They shall have it!") I demand the surrender of this country into their hands ! ("Take it take it, we surrender!") 1 demand still more than this, i re-quire you to join yourselves to their conquering hosts, and march on wilh them to tho consummation of their victory! ("We will! we will!") Well then Mr. t resident with your leave) it you are sincere in this, people of Onondaga, express your decision by three cheers for Henhy Clat! (3 cheers for Clay) and three more for FHEu.iuuuTSF.ri! (3 for rrulinghuyscn.) (A voico from the crowd, "IMow three cheers for Gov. Seward !") (3 cheers for Se ward.) 1 hank you, thank you, my mends. Now we are ready to march ! Let us set up our banners. Rut hold ! here aro tho Cayugns, the Oncidas, the Senecas, the Ontario and the Oswecos. Whatsay you, shall we organize the Six Nations, and set up our banner for Central New York ! ("Aye, aye, so bo it, 3 cheers for tho Six Nations !") Well! well! what inscription shall we have upon our banner? Ah! tlioro it is, embroidered a with lairy hand, on that pure while canvass. H Internal Improvement." What say you my Iriends j has tho Enlargement of tho Erie Canal been suspended long enough? (" Yes, yes, too long, loo long.") Well then, "Resumption or Internal Improvement" is tho word. ( Yen, yes, Resumption!") Uut hold, fellow-citizens, shall it be resumption of the Canal alone ? or shall it be resumption of all the useful works canals and railroads ? The restoration of the policy of Clinton equal and impartial blessing not merely the centre, but the borders of the Stato the dwellers on tho bank of tho St. Lawrence and in the valleys of the Susquehanna? ("The whole State. That's right Thai's lite Whig doc-Uino !") Well so let it be. What next ! fellow-citizens. It was the Whig policy to complete tho public works with the revenue derived from them alone, without taxation, and to divide the cost in just proportion, at least with the people of the Western States, who use our canals for shipping to market productions which they raise on the lands we opened to them, and which cost them only ten thillingt per acre, while ours cost us forty dollars per acre. Taxation for purposes of internal improvement is necessarily un equal, as it is unnecessary under a judicious ad' ministration. What sav you then ? Shall the ca nal policy be modified so as to relieve the citizens of this State from unnecessary snd unequal taxation, if wo can do so consistently with the public faith? (" Yes, yes. That's ritrht") Very well, we will wnto on our banners "INo cnnecessart or eh. equal Taxation for Roads or Canals !" Wbat more? fellow-citizen. In tho eastern cities they are proscribing and disfranchising citi tens, because they had the mistortune to be born in lands benighted and oppressed; and in ono of those cities the cradle of tho equality of man they ex pel, by the sword and bayonet, women, children and ministers of the gospel, from their homes, and light up Uieir way to the woods and fields by the fires of their dwellinirs, their bouses and their altars ! And all this proscription is because the unoffending citi' zens were born in Ireland, and worsmp uoa and desire to educate their children in the faith and ritual of their forefathers ! What do you say men and women ? Christian, Protestant men and women of Onondaga? Are not all men "born tree and equal V Is not this asylum for the exilo for freedom and for conscience sake ? ("Aye ! aye !") And shall not the exile enjoy the ballot, his just and only just weapon ot detence against our own injustice i (" Yes, yes ! That's right !") Shall he not be at lib erty lo educate his children according to the die tatea of his conscience as fully as we do? ("Yes, yes!") Well, then, we write on our glorious ban nef, Universal Sltfrage and Universal ldc cation." (Cheers "that's the talk !" Thank you. my friends. The exile shall bless you.) Rising generation shall thank you, and the world will hail our great army as the missionaries of Knowlcdgt and ot r reedoin. What else? oh! there, I catch the words from that banner that is half hidden in the leaves of the old ash tree over your heads. "Home Industry," (Cheers) " Protection to Home Industry." Protection implies that we depend upon somebody clso for protection. We will be our own protectors. We will say matnlWn Homo Industry. Fellow-citizens, you would have me discuss the Tar ill) But even this long summer day has been nearly spent in the gathering of the people. I havo adopted the ono hour rule for your sake, and that of my associates, your patriotic orators who are to follow me. There is no time for argument. Good houscwifo from Cicero, if your bread was ready for tho oven, and you had one, would yon bake at home, or send it to your neighbor's? and if you had no oven, would you change works with your fortunate neighbor who has one, or would you send to the dis taut market town? Now the principle of Homo Industry applies iust as well to the making of our own leather, and of our own boots, our own cloth, nnd of our own clothing, of our own Bait, of our own knives snd forks, and of our own shovels and tongs, and of our own spinning jennies and steam engines, as to the lowly example I have set forth. But the European baker cannot compete with the housewife, whilo the European mechanic, tanner, shoemaker, spinster, weaver, blacksmith, iron-founder and ironmonger can. Wo must, then, have duties which shall secure eo,ual advantages to our own mechanics. These marshes were onco filled with tho miasma of pestilence ; and the vicinity of the Salt Lake was as dreadful to the traveller as the sea of Sodom. Now, your salt springs are sources of hcttllh and wealth. What has made litis change! The TariffHome Industry. Well, but our opponents say that they are friendly to Homo Industry that' Silas Wriuiit saved it! Saved it from whom ? From their own hostility ! Saved it from themselves ? Rut they want it modified, so as to give "equal protection to all." Why, no firu-lection to any body! But they say they are now convinced that this tariff is right, and they will let it alone. It is a death-bed confession. Do not trust them. We trusted them onco, and justly reaped tho bitter fruits of our folly. Wo will trust them no more ! (Cheers.) Why, what a miscrablo appearnnco do our opponents mako here! claiming protection to the wool grower, not to the wool-spinners and weavers, when the wool-grower is receivmg forty cenU per pound double what ho received beforo tho tnntT law wus passed ! They inscribe their deceptive mottoes on muslin for which they are indebted to Whig hands and whig looms brought into employment by the Whig Tariff. (Cheers.) But our bnnner is broad enough, and wants for another motto. What shall it be ! "Distribution or the Proceeds of the Public Lands amono the States?" ("Aye! Aye! thot's the Clat policy !") So it is. And a beneficent policy it is too. Rut whatsay our opponents? why, it is robbing tho people, to bribe them with their own money ! Tho land revenues are taken irom the f ederal Treasury, they sny, and the people must be taxed to supply the amount so withdrawn. Well, but are they not brought into the State Treasury ? and are not the people to be taxed by the Stales, just as much as they receive from the Federal Treasury? Surely such exchange as this is not robbery. But the peo ple are not taxed to supply tho amount withdrawn. It is the foreign mechanic and artisan and capitalist who is taxed lor that amount. Again, what are the imposts that are so much to be dreaded ! Why, the duties by which we secure the protection and prosperity of our own Agriculture and Manufactures. Let us, then, havo the impost, and let us devote the public domain to Education, and the Improvement ot Roads and Rivers, This was the policy of Jefferson ; it is the poli cy of the Whigs. If our opponents are not satisfied with this, we will surrender it all to purchase and emancipate the Slaves of the South. ( Aye, aye, the whole of it.") Nobly and generously suid, fellow citizens. And such generosity would bo doubly blessed, for like the quality of mercy, it would bless them that received, and them mat gave. Once more, my friends, our opponents, sinco last they met us, have changed not only their leader, but their front Their watchwords then were " Van Bu-ren and no Texas," now their watchcry is " Polk and Texas Texas as soon as possible," which being interpreted by Andrew Jackson, means "Testis now if ever." By adopting this new policy, they havo forfeited forever, all pretension alike to the name and to tlio pnncxptcs ot Democracy. Uencclorln I'icir principle is Slavery ; their namo, tho Texas Partt! When the Constitution wns formed, there wcro thirteen-States. In seven of them the system of Free Labor was exclusively, or prevalently estab lished. That is tho system we daily see and practise. Your hands and mi no are tree. They are moved by the assuraiico of rewards of the enjoy ment ol all that they cam; and the desiro ol reward print's from the ncccssitv and dtitv of supply ing our own wants, and the wants of our wives and children, and providing for our children's education and competence. In six of tho Stales the system of Involuntary or Slave Laror was supremo. What is that system? The fields are tilled and labncs roncht by Slaves. They toil without reward, and and without even the pressure of necessity for their support The fear of the lash, not the love of wife and children, is the only stimulant; for their bondage was inherited and is transmitted to their descen dants forever. These six Slavo labor elates retused to enter tho Union without a concession of undue po litical power. That concession was thnt every 000 slavus should count as 300 freemen, and the master should vote for the slaves, so that, in effect, a member of Congress from tho free labor State has only one vote, while tho representative of a slave holding State has what is equivalent to one vote and thrce- fifthi of another. These master slave holders aro an Aristocracy. This principle of Slave Representation is the Corinthian pillar of the Constitution. Its baso is sunk deep, and serpents Ins among tne leaves that entwine its capitol. Now we once had an Aristocracy here in this Stato an Aristocracy of land holders but we abolished it twenty years ago. Now the freeholder and the laoorng man, the gen-tlcmcn and his servant aro all equal. It was right poind and wiaelv done, for wealth is no test of worth. and the lowly and indigent have an equal natural right to suffrage with the land holder, and more need for its protection. But if the Aristocracy of Land was thus improper what shall we say of the Aristocracy of SlattrTii Both are the aristocacv of wealth. But the wealth in the ono case consisted in acres a portion of that earth which God has assigned to us for acquisition. The other consists in the bones and sinews the life and blood the bodies and souls of men. women and children. Yet such is the aristoc racy of the Federal Constitution. It is now no matter how this Aristocracy camo to be established. Our opponents propose note to add Texas as s Slave Holdino Territory to the jurisdiction of the Fed eral Government; thus increasing by one, two, three or fivo, the number of the Slavo holding States, and , enlarging the foundation and dimensions of tho Aristocracy of the Constitution, and increasing its strength so that it may never be shaken or severed from the glorious edifice of American Freedom ! Said I not truly, then, that this is a forfeiture of all pretension to the name and principle! of Democracy ? Now Fellow Citizens, what will it cost to secure the peculiar Institutions of the South. Why, first, the assumption of the debt of Texas. It may be 1.1, it may he 'zi millions of dollars. More or less, this ought to be an objection with those who deny the Federal Government constitutional power to as sume the debts of the several DTATE8 WNICll are members of the confederacy. But I do not dwcl I on this objection. It Texas was worth buying, I should not hesitate merely about the cost ; and we see already that tho Texas party find a wonderful elasticity in the Constitution. Well they may They were the party of Repudiation ; and a debt of 25 millions would bo as easily paid oft' in this way as a debt of one. (Cheers.) It will cost a war with Mexico an unjust war a war to extend the Slave trade, and the Slave Piracy Piracy in the judgment of Christendom. In such a war, tho nations of Europe and of South America would combine against us, and the Almighty has no attribute which would induce him to bless our arms. You will not go to war for human slavery will you? ("No! nol") Come hither! you, the advocates of Texas ! See here 15,000 men enjoying the blessings of peace, freedom, knowledge, religion and virtue, you cannot have war without their consent! Think you they will forego all these blessings to perpetuate and extend the domain of slavery ? No! no! War is the game of kings of despot ; not of democracies. And above all, not of the democracy of the American States. What has slavery done for us already that wo should hazard peace, prosperity and honor to secure or extend its hateful sway ? It has once lost us our system of home industry our public credit cost us a long season of financial embarrassment the abandonment of internal improvementswaste of the national domain a sacrifice of the inviolato right of petition the forfeiture of all consistency of public character, and the disrespect of civilized men. This is enough and too much. What should wo gain by the acquisition of Texas? Land! Have we not a thousand millions of uncultivated acres already ? Security against tho invasion of the South ! Let tho South abolish slavery, and she may defy invasion as boldly as we who dwell almost within sight and hearing of British forts. Extension of market for our manufactures! toes not the slavery we already have, nullify the Union to prevent our manufacturing at all ? Citizens, ye who have rejoiced under the name, and claimed the principles ot democracy I am one of you. If I know my own heart or life, I love and cherish next to my religion, the equal and beneficent principle of democracy. I warn you not to be misled. Henceforth the Whigs aie by confession of the people of America by confession of mankind tho party of Freedom, of Progress and of Civilization.Friends of Emancipation! Advocates of tho Rights of Man! I am ono of you. I have always believed and trusted that the Whigs of America would come up to tho ground you have so nobly assumed. Not that I supposed, or believed, ther would all at once, or from the same impulses, reach that ground. But that I he progress of events would surely bring them there, and they would assume it cheerfully, i hat consummation has cotne. All that is dear to the Whigs of Ihe United States, in regard to policy, to principle and to administration, is now-involved with your own favorite cause in the present issue upon the admission of Texas to the Union. You have now this great generous and triumphant party on the very ground to which you have invited them, and tor not assuming winch prematurely, von have so often denounced them. But you will say that Hent Clat is a slave holder. So he is. I regret it ss deeply as you do. I wish it wcro other wise. But our conflict Is not with ono slave holder. or with many, but with slavery. Henry Clay is our representative. You are opposed to the admission of Texas, and you admit and assort tho duty of resisting it by Die right of suffrage. Will you resist it by voting for James G. Birney ? Your votes would be ltiRt as effectual if cast upon the waters of this placid lake. But yon say Henry Clay disavowes abolitionism. Let him do so. What care you and I for that ? He is opposed to Texas. Ho is tho candidato of the Whig Farty. TiiEr aro opposed to Texas. They. not he, are to prevent the annexation of Texas. Let us bring New iork to the ground she held in Ilia Virginia controversy. (Cheers.) Then she shall have anti-Texas Representatives in Congress ; and then let the ghost of the Texas treaty come back in wnat shape it may, wo will question it and silence it forever. If it come again by treaty, it will be rejec ted. If by law or joint resolution, it will be defeated. The securitythe duration the extension of slavery all depend on the annexation of Texas. How, then, can any friend of emancipation vote for tho Texas candidate, or withhold bis vote from the Whig candidate, without exhibiting the mere caprice of faction ! Democrats, Liberty men and Whigs, by whatever name you prefer to be called ! the issue presents iiscii aiiKO to an. Texas and slavery are at war with the interests, the principles, the sympathies of all. The integrity of the Union depends on the re sult To increase tho slaye holding power is to subvert the Constitution, to give a fearful preponder ance which may, and probably will be speedily followed by demands to which the democratic free la bor Mates cannot yield, and the demaDd of which will be made tho ground of secession, nullification and disunion. Mr. Seward sat down amid the long continocd cheers of the thousands who heard and responded to. his sentiment. NKW tJOODH.
